Hello ALL! My name is king and im 285lbs/49years old. 3 days ago for the first time in over 40years I completely stopped drinking Mt. Dew. I'm kicking myself for letting myself go. No excuses here. I really don't eat a lot (famous words for a fat person). It was the sweets and 1200 calories from Mt. Dew that was making me fat. Well, that and me consuming them. I blame me and only me. I know I can do this but I would like to take you on my journey with me so if anyone has any words of encouragement or stories to tell me, I would love to here em', I'm a great listener

    Congrats on giving up the Dew. That's a great first step. My downfall was McDonald's sweet tea. It was my liquid crack! lol I haven't had one in over 2 months now. Feel free to add me.

    Congratulations! Personally my downfall was eating like a pig (most notably a crazy amount of pizza). I'm refusing to even let it in the house now in the hope that I can finally get down to some serious weight loss although the amount of online take-aways is pretty daunting when the craving strikes!

    Good for you. It's tough to cut something out cold turkey.
    If you were able to give up the Dew you can do this! I always welcome new friends if you need some. :)

    I used to have a thing with Diet Pepsi (2 bottles a day) .. and binge junk food sessions. I have give both of those up .. (did it cold turkey about a month ago). I still have to be careful at the store .. and really walk by that junk food aisle.

    I can understand how you feel ... I let myself go as well. I used to be fit in about 2006 and it hurts me to realize that I have gotten to the point where I find myself.

    I wish you success .. and I totally understand the cravings, both the pop and the junk food. Been there .. did that.
